    Renault love putting shit decals on limited editions
     
  9. That looks shite, a bit Chav , IMO though
     
  10. Instead of stickers they should install xenons. But decals are cheaper I guess.
     
  11. Totally agree. I'd prefer mine without them.
     
  12. Mate of mine has a nimbus R with the stickers removed rob, looks mint but I'm too scared to remove mine mate.
     
  13. Will.

    I prefer mine with the decals. All other versions look shit. IMO of course.
     
  14. I think It would be better without them too although they go a bit towards making the car stand out as different
     
  15. Good thing about stickers is they peel off.
     

  16. Even if you don't want them to on Renaults :smiley:
     
  17. Interesting chat with a person from Renault today at Brands when I said the 275 should be available stripped out. :wink:
     
  18. totally agreed
     
  19. Interesting chat with a person from Renault today at Brands when I said the 275 should be available stripped out. :wink:<br/>

    Rumor is there will be two versions available, one stripped one full fat. Not long now for the big reveal.
     
  20. I was told to "watch this space" :wink:

    I wouldn't be surprised if they kept a stripped version in the wings for when Honda inevitably come along and beat the record.


    I have heard rumours of sub 7.50 lap time though, Which if true is ridiculous for a Hot hatch LOL!
     
  22. can't wait for my 'i told you so' !
     
  23. blah blah blah :rolleyes:

    I'll take you out when I get it :wink:

    The tradition of exclusive, performance-oriented Renaultsport models continues with the unveiling of a new limited edition Mégane Renaultsport - 275 Trophy.

    Following its recent facelift, the top-of-the-range Mégane [FONT=&quot]now benefits from a technical upgrade and a bespoke look. The new 275 Trophy is the latest in a line of limited edition Megane Renaultsports, which began with the 265 Trophy in 2011 and continued with the Red Bull Racing RB8.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Technical upgrades for a Renaultsport thoroughbred with even sharper performance[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Widely acclaimed both for its on-road performance, as well as its sublime track handling, the Cup chassis with limited slip differential comes as standard with the Mégane Renaultsport 275 Trophy. [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]To allow customers to appreciate the car’s dynamic qualities even further, Renaultsport’s engineers have worked extensively on its powerplant to extract yet more power, leading to an additional 10 horsepower. The two-litre turbocharged petrol engine consequently boasts 275hp, and peak power is reached at 5,500rpm. At the same time, maximum torque (360Nm) is available across a broad rev-band, from 3,000 to 5,000rpm. Despite this additional power, fuel consumption and emissions have been carefully contained to stand at just 37.7 mpg* and 174g of CO[SUB]2[/SUB]/km respectively.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Renaultsport and [/FONT]Akrapovič[FONT=&quot], the manufacturer of benchmark exhaust systems for motorcycles and performance cars, have marked their association with the standard fitment of a titanium exhaust system. In addition to benefiting from the lighter weight of titanium, Mégane Renaultsport 275 Trophy also features a specific, more raucous bark that is sure to appeal to those who appreciate sporty engine notes.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]An equipment package with a circuit racing pedigree[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Mégane Renaultsport 275 Trophy kicks off a partnership with the world-renowned damper manufacturer, Öhlins. The limited edition car can be specified with optional adjustable Öhlins Road & Track dampers with steel springs. This evolution of technology employed in motorsport and on the Mégane N4 rally car, allows drivers to adjust their damper settings easily and unaided.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Also available as an option for Mégane Renaultsport 275 Trophy for those who enjoy track days are MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres. This ultra-high performance solution was developed jointly by Michelin and Renaultsport specifically for this new limited edition front-wheel-drive car.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]A limited-edition version that packs exclusive styling, inside and out [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]The new livery includes Trophy branding on the silver F1-style silver blade, while the personalised body sides feature Trophy decals. Silver has also been selected for the chequered flag graphic at the bottom of the doors. Meanwhile, numbered door sill guards are further evidence of its exclusivity.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Like the new signature engine note, the carbon exhaust tail pipe, too, is the work of [/FONT]Akrapovič.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Optional 19-inch black Speedline Turini wheels derived from those used by competition versions of Mégane can also be ordered to complete the racy look.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Inside, Mégane Renaultsport 275 Trophy comes with leather and Alcantara Recaro bucket seats with red stitching. The same hue of stitching has been carried over to the rear bench seat, while the headrests feature Renaultsport badging. Other interior highlights include visible red stitching for the Alcantara steering wheel trim and handbrake gaiter, as well as an alloy gear lever knob.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    The new halo model for the Megane range is set to make its UK debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2014 in June. It will be sold in 20 countries worldwide, with UK pricing and specification details to be confirmed in June, with first deliveries in October.[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
